This roast came out being pretty amazing- way better than I thought I was capable of making. The gravy was the star, for sure. Instead of mole sauce, I used adobo sauce and some cocoa powder. The coffee gives the gravy an unbelievably deep, meaty flavor. I added diced potatoes and carrots to the pot during the last hour of cooking for a complete one-pot meal. -
Delicious! This roast turned out very flavorful and tender. We loved it. I will make again. Thanks for sharing! -
I cooked mine for 3 hours to get my meat nice and tender, and it was delicious. I wasn't sure about the mole sauce...what I found was concentrated, so I guessed on the amount. This was such a nice change from my regular post roast with potatoes, carrots, and celery. I really enjoyed the gravy, and the meat was fork tender. Thanks for sharing!
